I'm so grateful that God welcomes me back with open arms. Being open-armed is a statement of major commitment. Allow me to elaborate.
If you think about it, being open-armed leaves you quite vulnerable. The area of the body that must be protected most is left completely vulnerable. The major organs are protected only by the thin skin, while the most important of organs, the heart, is protected only by a series of small bones. Stop and think about a God who is willing to leave himself wide open like that. A God that only does this for one thing: us!
It's more than ironic that Jesus would die on a cross with arms spread wide-open. Perhaps he died with arms spread so that we could remember his nature. An open-armed, open-hearted God who will do whatever it takes for us to be willing to accept his embrace!
